General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has been in force since 25 May 2018. Whenever you work with personal data, you have to record what happens to this data. The university will support you in working in a privacy-proof way.

From 25 May 2018, all European organisations must comply with a new law: the GDPR. The GDPR’s Dutch name is the Algemene Verordening Gegevensbescherming (AVG).

Personal data

The core concept of the new law is “personal data”. Whenever you work with personal data, you must be able to explain clearly, fully and in simple terms what happens to the data within an organisation, and how it is processed. You must record this in the data processing register.
